Bill;
If they're already in why do they need a user?? ;-)
You can try the net user command (windows command use !net ... To run).
Note I have only used it for users to update their own password so not
sure how well it will work to create new users (access permissions to do
it).
Would it be better/easier/safer/more expandable to have the dedicated
users to access from ASP (may aid later with connection pooling) and
have the application keep track of the user?
